Yep. The one potent thing we're confronted with against the Fluffy Ducks is that they maintain pressure for four qtrs. We tend to have a lapse in just about every game, and that's all they will need to open up a lead... and keep it.
Spot on Baggers. If we bring 4 qtr effort we can win. We have had in game lapses in every game this year. Swans don't. The hard 4-5 week block we've had makes it harder but they are still beatable. Mids set up and kick most of their goals. Need to get it in quick to our forward line. Swans slice defences by clean ball movement so 4 qtr pressure non negotiable for us to win.

All of our defenders and our defensive structures stood up very well to intense pressure last week.  Apart from Petracca, all of the Melbourne forwards were well beaten.

I would be inclined to go with the same seven this week unless there’s a compelling match up for Williams AND he’s completely fit.

Team B

5 - Cripps
4 - Weiters
3 - Walsh
2 - Kennedy
1 - Pitto

Fans might think Cripps wasn't having an impact, but the bloke gets monstered on the inside at every stoppage with almost zero reward, then they reward him a free kick for a tiggy touchwood leveller on the outside as an apology. On the replay I noticed Kennedy doing a power of work, but he's carrying an injury of some sort and looks a bit sore at times. Had to give Pitto a vote, he basically stalled Gawn's influence which is a win.

Yes. There's a sizeable body of work recently that suggests we won't be blown away, and we are a real chance to win every game. But the Swans are a pretty tall order at the moment IMO.
